Zack Snyder's Justice League: Justice Is Gray gets a First Look B/W Clip between Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth

 

Following his Twitch stream and fundraiser alongside Deathstroke actor Joe Manganiello, director Zack Snyder released the first clip from his upcoming B/W cut of Justice League that's titled "Zack Snyder's Justice League: Justice Is Gray" - which is set to premiere on HBO Max some time down the line. Of course the film will not only be a black and white version of Snyder's four hour cut of JL, but it will also include new footage and scenes of Jared Leto's Joker - including the "We live in a society" line that was missing from the film but was finished in the trailer. A pic of the clown holding Batman's cowl also appeared a few days ago.

You can check out the clip below via the official Twitter page of the Snyder Cut - which is a scene from the film between Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth (as played by Ben Affleck and Jeremy Irons) and featured in B/W.

Straight from the show's official Facebook page and making the announcement at the Television Critics Association press tour in California, FOX, Warner Bros., and DC Entertainment are renewing their pre-Batman TV Series "Gotham", which explores the origins of a younger Gotham City and its inhabitants before it became the way it was.

Gotham: Pilot premieres and the "After Show" begins

Finally premiering on FOX and telling the tale of a city plagued with crime and corruption years before the emergence of The Dark Knight vigilante and hero known as Batman, Gotham is a brand new take on the origins of Detective James Gordon, Harvey Bullock, a young Bruce Wayne, Selina Kyle, and many others who will undoubtedly meet and cross paths with one another as the first season runs its course.

The Pilot aired this past Monday, and it's a strong start to what will certainly be an interesting crime-drama series that will plant the seeds for the rise of gang wars and the future supervillain community... As well as the beginnings of Gordon's dedication to clean up the streets and Bruce's eventual rise to conquer fear and become something... Legendary.

Following the premiere of the pilot, theStream.tv has posted up their first episode that reviews and explores each Gotham episode after it premieres, which is aptly titled the "Gotham After Show".

The CGI animation tv show, which pairs Batman with new sidekick Katana and his ex-secret agent butler Alfred Pennyworth, will see the Caped Crusader fighting crime and taking on the likes of Professor Pyg, Ra's Al Ghul, and the mysterious Anarky.

The Dark Knight Trilogy: Michael Caine talks about Christopher Nolan and Alfred Pennyworth

For almost a decade, Sir Michael Caine has immortalized himself as an iconic presence in Christopher Nolan's Batman film trilogy, playing the invaluable role of Bruce Wayne/ Batman's butler and trusted father figure Alfred Pennyworth in the big screen. Now that the movies have wrapped up, a new video interview has surfaced online courtesy of Warner Bros. UK YouTube channel, with the  legendary British actor giving his thoughts on working with Nolan and talking more about Alfred Pennyworth and his backstory. Check out the video interview clip after the jump!

"Beware the Batman" animated series debuts on 2013

Announced by Warner Bros. during the MIP Junior Market Convention in Cannes, France on Sunday and reported by sites Comic Book Movie and Superherohype, it appears that a new Batman animated series is in the works by Warner Bros. Animation, but will be done in CGI like that of the upcoming Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

Titled "Beware The Batman", Warner Bros. executive vice president for creative affairs Sam Register confirmed that the new series will debut sometime in 2013, and will feature "a classic looking Batman teaming up with a gun-totting Alfred Pennyworth and a female sidekick ninja named Katana (who may be THE SAME Katana from Batman's own team creation, The Outsiders).


Executive-produced by legendary and longtime Batman: The Animated Series collaborator Glen Murakami, Beware The Batman will explore the more obscure villains of the Bat-mythology, featuring the likes of Professor Pyg in his rogues gallery. However, that's not to say that classic villains like The Joker or Penguin won't be making any appearances either. Also, despite the fact that Batman will team up with a young female-sidekick named Katana, that doesn't mean she will be a replacement for Robin.

At this point, I don't know what to feel about a CGI Batman cartoon series, but it's too early to say, and no other noteworthy info about the series was given other than the announcement and year it will be released. For more info, visit the source posts at The World's Finest, CBM, and Superherohype.

Beware The Batman is slated for release sometime in 2013!

R.I.P Michael Gough.:(

Sad news hit the entertainment and Bat-fan community, as news from movie sites like Screen Rant and IGN report that famed British actor Michael Gough, well known to movie audiences as the man who played Alfred Pennyworth in the first four Batman movies, passed away at the age of 94. He was one of only two actors to ever reprise their role in all four Batman films (the other being the late and great Pat Hingle, who played Commissioner Gordon), and Gough's passing leaves me saddened, simply because the Alfred I first came to know in most forms of media is now gone. Besides the movies, he also reprised the role in the radio/ tape adaptation of Batman: Knightfall, which I had the opportunity to listen to as a kid. Besides Alfred, Michael Gough was well known for a lot of roles, including many British horror films like Dracula and recurring appearances television shows like Doctor Who and The Avengers. He'll truly be missed, and I'll always be remembered as that faithful and steadfast butler who gave sound advice to his master in times of crisis and moral dilemma, such as this deleted scene in Batman Forever, where Bruce Wayne (played by Val Kilmer) is trying to reconcile his life as a crime fighter and being together with the woman he loves, Dr. Chase Meridian (played by Nicole Kidman).

Rest In Peace, Michael Gough, and thanks for the memories, Good Sir!:(
